Yet more on CTR’s failure

Nice piece late last week by MediaMind’s Ariel Geifman.

The article provided a thoughtful, compact summary of a wide variety of different sources and research approaches that all drive to the same conclusion:  CTR is a convenient metric, but an inadequate one at best and most often a misleading one.  Obviously a topic on which we have written on multiple occasions, but I liked Ariel’s treatment and he wove in a few interesting angles I hadn’t seen before.

Worth a read.
